Not only did Clemson win over Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley defensive tackle Payton Page during the recruiting process, but the Tigers won over his family, too.
Page, a highly coveted top-30 national recruit, announced his commitment to Clemson over fellow finalists North Carolina and Tennessee on Tuesday evening at a local training facility.
The relationship that the Tigers built with not only Page, but also his parents, played a big part in his college choice. Defensive tackles coach Todd Bates, defensive coordinator Brent Venables, head coach Dabo Swinney and his staff as a whole made both Page and his family feel loved when they were on campus.
